Gänsemarkt

Neustadt ligger centralt inden for voldanlæggene, men er alligevel ikke så præsent for mange. Neustadt har dog meget at byde på: Gänsemarkt med finansmyndigheden fra Schumacher, projektet „Gängeviertel“, Brahms-mindesmærket, den historiske gade Bäckerbreitergang, musikhallen, det monumentale Brahmskontor, rester af et jødisk tempel, Poolstraße med mange små butikker, den livlige Großneumarkt, Hummelbrunnen samt byens mest kendte kirke: St. Michaelis.

In the heart of Hamburg's city center, a atmospherically designed village of lovingly decorated gingerbread houses is created during the Christmas season. The stalls are made of wood and natural materials and are designed with deceptively realistic gingerbread elements and icing-like decorations.>>At the stalls, visitors will find a diverse Christmas offering – from arts and crafts and decorative items to sweet and savory foods and warm drinks. The special design is reminiscent of the fairy tale world of Hansel and Gretel and gives the market a playful, festive atmosphere.>>Also integrated into the scenery is the bronze monument of the poet Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. Surrounded by festive lighting, Christmas scents, and lively market activity, the square thus becomes a special meeting point during the Advent season.
